Nexcess delivers managed cloud hosting purpose-built for WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, and Shopware. Environments are tuned to each platform, monitored continuously, and scaled automatically when traffic and orders climb. The company runs 16 global data centers and more than 100,000 servers for over 185,000 customers, on architecture that is SOC 2, PCI, and HIPAA ready.
Key benefits of the offering:
- Platform-tuned managed hosting: WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, and Shopware environments with automatic updates, security hardening, and performance optimization handled for you.
- One-click installs: Stand up a new WordPress or store environment in a single step, so a project goes from decision to live site without a manual server build.
- Auto-scaling for spikes: Infrastructure that adds performance headroom on demand, so high-traffic launches and seasonal surges stay fast instead of falling over.
- PCI-ready commerce security: PCI ASV scanning, network segmentation, firewalls, encryption, and audit-ready documentation built into the commerce stack.
- Engineer-led migrations and support: Moves handled with minimal downtime and zero data loss, backed by engineers who know the platform rather than a generic queue.
- Predictable, fixed-cost billing: Dedicated, isolated resources with no shared pools and no egress surprises, so the hosting bill does not spike with the traffic.
How we know Nexcess
Our relationship with Nexcess goes back to 2010, when Brent founded Wagento, his Magento agency, and Nexcess hosted that work. Brent sold Wagento in 2021. Content Cucumber and Nexcess have reconnected as Content Cucumber expanded across WordPress, Magento, Shopware, and more. The platforms Nexcess hosts are the platforms Content Cucumber writes for.
End-to-end WordPress, handled
Content Cucumber is expanding into full WordPress site management, where the client does not have to lift a finger. Content Cucumber handles the build, the content, and the ongoing care, and the site runs on Nexcess underneath. Nexcess one-click installs stand up a new WordPress or store environment fast, so a client goes from decision to live site without touching the infrastructure. When a store outgrows shared hosting, faces a Magento migration, or needs PCI and compliance handled, Nexcess is where Content Cucumber sends it. More on how the managed model works: Managed WordPress, done for you.
Why partner together?
Nexcess runs the infrastructure a store sits on. Content Cucumber produces the content, SEO, and AEO that brings buyers and AI engines to that store in the first place. The two reads do not overlap, and a growing store needs both. A fast, secure, well-hosted site has nothing to sell if discovery is broken, and strong content stalls on a site that buckles under load. The referral runs both directions. Content Cucumber sends clients who need hosting to Nexcess, and Nexcess sends clients who need content and discoverability to Content Cucumber. Co-sell is the lead shape, with reciprocal referral as the low-friction default.
